The Troubled Families team, based in DCLG, was established in 2011 to join up efforts across the whole of government and to provide expert help to local authorities to drive forward the programme of turning around the lives of troubled families. Government data collected in 2011 estimated that £9 billion is spent annually on troubled families \u2013 an average of £75,000 per family each year. Of this, an estimated £8 billion is spent reacting to the problems these families have and cause with just £1 billion being spent on helping families to solve and prevent problems in the longer term.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
As of the end of June 2014, my Department had the following number of officials working on Troubled Families programme: 4 Executive Officers (and equivalents); 3 Higher Executive Officers; 7 Senior Executive Officers, 3 Grade 7, 5 Grade 6, 2 Deputy Directors, 1 Director and 1 Director General.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The latter two senior salaries are published as part of our transparency agenda, and are respectively (a) within the range of £110,000 - £114,999 and (b) within the range of £130,000 to £134,999.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
More generally, Civil Servants are paid within a grade pay scale. These ranges are Executive Officer (£22,279 to £31,225); Higher Executive Officer (£26,058 to £39,513); Senior Executive Officer (£32,311 to £45,985); Grade 7 (£40,852 to £57,110); Grade 6 (£50,203 to £70,375) and Deputy Director (£62,000 to £117,800).<\/p>

<\/p>
The Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) received cross-government funding from the Department for Education, the Department of Health and the Ministry of Justice over four years (2008 -2010) to support its early pilot development. The Department for Education's contribution to this contract was £450,000.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department also gave additional funding (2010-2012) of £150,000 each year to develop both a financial sustainability model for the future and a blueprint for the roll-out of other FDAC pilots in other areas.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department is currently funding The Tavistock and Portman £150,000 in 2013-14 and 2014-15 to continue the development and roll out of the FDAC model. This money will be to enable FDAC to be developed further to be consistent with the revised Public Law Outline (PLO) 26-week time limit which came into force through the Children and Families Act 2014.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
No decisions have been taken about future funding beyond 2015.<\/p>

Mr Cummings is an ex-employee of the Department for Education. It is not uncommon for ex-employees to be in contact with Ministers and the Department. As the Secretary of State for Education explained to the House on Monday 16 June, many people seek to visit and contact the Department for Education to exchange ideas with old friends and colleagues.<\/p>"}
